Kavanaugh is still much more unpopular in the polls than he is popular. He's taking a drubbing on social media and will continue to do so. I just watched bits of the hearings again, and those old white farts just look ridiculous. You'd have to be an awful judge of character to think they looked good. The more the clips get aired, the more ridiculous it appears. They are making a mistake wasting so much energy on this.
